1910 Ford Model T

After successfully building and selling nearly 10,000 Model T Fords during the first model years, Ford continued its success in 1910. The Model T's for 1910 were largely similar to the 1909 models but had a number of mechanical improvements made to the rear axle.

Ford built the Model T using components supplied by many outside manufacturers. A large portion of the engines and chassis were built by the Dodge Brothers and the bodies were built by a variety of manufacturers including the Pontiac, Beaudette and Hayes.

Six different body styles were available in 1910, including a touring car, a tourabout, a runabout, a town car, a landaulet and a coupe. In addition to these offerings, Ford also sold a bare chassis to customers that wanted to build their own special-purpose bodies. Of the six styles offered, the touring car was the most popular and contributed to nearly seventy-five percent of all vehicles sold that year. At the end of the 1910 model year, Henry Ford had built and sold nearly 20,000 vehicles, which was double his 1909 production.
